So you know the speed of a wave, and speed is how much the wave moves per second. This wave travels 3x10^8 meters per second. So to find how for you traveled you need to know how many seconds the wave traveled for, 20 minutes is equal to 1200 seconds (times 20 minutes by 60). Then times the seconds by the speed (3x10^8 m/s)x(1200 s) = 3.6x10^11 meters

Air bags are designed to deploy in 10 ms. Given that the air bags expand 20 cm as they deploy, estimate the acceleration of the

joja [24]

As it is given that the air bag deploy in time

$t = 10 ms = 0.010 s$

total distance moved by the front face of the bag

$d = 20 cm = 0.20 m$

Now we will use kinematics to find the acceleration

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0.20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a*0.010^2$

$0.20 = 5 * 10^{-5}* a$

$a = 4000 m/s^2$

now as we know that

$g = 10 m/s^2$

so we have

$a = 400g$

so the acceleration is 400g for the front surface of balloon

7. An 8 kg ball is travelling to the east at 10 ms', collides with a 2 kg ball travelling to the

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 7m/s

Explanation:

M1=8kg, V1 =10m/s , M2=2kg , V2=-5m/s

initial momentum before collison

m1v1+m2v2

=8×10 +2×(-5) =80-10 = 70kg m/s

final momentum after collison

=(m1+m2)×v

=(8+2)×v

=10v

According to the law of conversion of momentum

initial momentum =final momentum

70=10v

10v=70

v=70/10

v=7m/s

A 35.4 kg girl is riding on the back of a 15.23 kg cart. the cart and the kid are both moving eastward at 4.25 m/s when she step

Grace [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the cart is $v_c = 7.02 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the girl is $m_g = 35.4 \ kg$

The mass of the cart is $m_c = 15.23 \ kg$

The speed of the cart and kid(girl) is $v = 4.25 \ m/s$

The final velocity of the girl is $v_g = 3.06 \ m/s$

Let assume that velocity eastward is positive and velocity westward is negative (Note that if we assume vise versa it wouldn't affect the answer )

The total momentum of the system before she steps off the back of the cart

is mathematically evaluated as

$p__{T1}} = (m_g + m_c) * v$

substituting values

$p__{T1}} = (35.4 + 15.23) * 4.25$

$p__{T1}} =215.17 \ kg m /s$

The total momentum after she steps off the back of the cart is mathematically evaluated as

$p__{T2}} = (m_g * v_g ) +( m_c * v_c )$

Where $v_c$ is the final velocity of the cart

substituting values

$p__{T2}} = (35.4 * 3.06 ) +( 15.23 * v_c )$

$p__{T2}} = 108. 324 + 15.23 v_c$

Now according to the law of conservation of momentum

$p__{T1}} =p__{T2}}$

$215.17 \ kg m /s = 108. 324 + 15.23 v_c$

=> $v_c = 7.02 \ m/s$

Since the value is positive it implies that the cart moved eastward
